Denzel Washington, and Brooks Army Medical Center.


Don't know whether you heard about this but Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio,Texas (BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States, especially burn victims. There are some buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher  House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the Hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. A little while later, he made a 6-figure donation. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.

The question I have is why does:

Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Sean Penn and other Hollywood types make front page news with their anti-everything America crap and Denzel Washington's Patriotism doesn't even make page 3 in the Metro section of any newspaper except the Local newspaper in San Antonio.

A true American and friend to all in uniform!

This needs as wide a distribution as we can create.

GOD BLESS YOU DENZEL FOR YOUR PATRIOTISM

Bad stories always get more press than a good one, a child displaying bad behavior winds up getting more attention (albeit not the right kind, but attention nonetheless) than a child with good behavior, the squeaky wheel gets the oil, etc.

This is just the way things have always seemed to be--very unfortunate, I agree with you.
